Hey guys,
I am in the process of building a curved headboard for a bed frame. The thickness is roughly going to be between 1.5" - 2". I attached a pic to get an idea.
Since I don't think I'll have the space and means to bend the fully assembled panel I was thinking of making 6 " - 9" wide boards and bending each one from a form. Then gluing them together to make the full panel. My concern is not making close enough copies of each bent board but some allowance for sanding is fine.
Does this seem like the best option to create this panel? I am also considering a potentially easier route such as plywood bending or veneering.
I have never glued up bent boards before either, was curious if someone had experience with this.
Happy Holidays
